Carlisle and Thoebe,

Some days ago Ex-Speaker Carlisle was
interviewed as to the contest over the seat
In Congress for which he holds the Ger
tificnte. In his interview Mr.. Carlisle posed
for the benefit of an admlring public, using
the following languages

without interference from me.

1t may be very safe proceeding on the
part Of Mr.. Carlisle. He knows the court
Ss well as the defendant charged with
stealing hogs knew the jury, "cle5en OF

in this case is a Democratic II 1use OF Rep.

it can be relied on, or M. Carlisle Is mis-

The Treasury u nd The Money Market
Nam Nnrl.

New York Herald
The continued absorption of money into
the treasury through the absurd war taxes
and tariff is creating increased strirgency
in commercial circles, Notwithstanding the
arrival Of considerable amounts OF gold
fIom Europe,
First class houses up town are paying at
the rate of 10 per cent for discounts, aud
in fome instances firms of very high credit
are scarcely able to secure money at per
cent. month. The announcement OF a
new French loan to be brought out will
tend to check the movement Of foreign gold
TO cur shores, and dlmlnlshes chances of
continued relief from that source.
II is believed In commercial circles that
the Treasury's refusal to accept any OF the
government bonds offered 1t last week was
me result OF q misappreheEsion, In the alb
sence OF Secretary Fairchld. Hence hold
ers OF the bonds should not be discourage
from rendering them tomorrow. Such ap-
peals sare being made to the department
from all parts OF the country that to-mor
rows purchases may be on larger scale
than heretoiore'-prOylded the bonds are
offered at fair prices.
After all, a comparatively small propor-
tion OF the holders OF government bonds are
willing to sell, and while the treasury con
fines its purchases to the four and a halls,
OF which there are less than two hundred
and fifty millions, the release OF money
from the surplus will necessarily be limited
Why not receive tenders for any OF the out
standing issues, fixing maximum price,
and giving preference TO those offered low
est? This will open up larger field, the
total amount outstanding being over one
thousand millions. Out OF all these the
secretary would probably be offered every
week such an amount Of bonds a. would
permit him to select sufficient for his pur-
pose at reasonable prices.

The cotton year begins on the 1st OF
September, and the report Of exports for,the
last year, ending Aug. 81, show an export
of 4,552,7G0 bales, with an average weight
OF 4Sl pounds The export price of this
cotton was s20i, ,327,S30 an average OF
0 47-100 cents per pound, The exports the
previous year were 40,206,0l1 pounds less
than this, but the average price was 0 9l.1O0
ptr pound and the amount paid for ex-
ported cotton was 3,5s9,9i2 greater than
received this year. The average price of
the grades of cotton for the export trade is
now over 10 cents per pound, and this will
probably be raised during the week, be-
cause Of the unfayorable report Of the con-
dition Of the crop, which indicates'a lower
production to the acreage than that Of last
year. OF the entire cotton crop last year
the Int was old for about $500, 100000 to
the exporters and manufacturers. The
seed sold produced about $4,000, 900 more
to the farmers. Cotton is still king.

lCiucinnau telegram
The Telegram called on Mr.. George ii.
Thobe, the man who so narrowly missed
beating Mr.. Carlisle for Congress in the
sixth Kentucky district at the last election,
to ask him what he thought Of the state
ment made by his late competitor in Wash
ington yesterday.
His first remark, as he came down the
stairs in the Robert Mitchell furniture fac.
tory, at Second and John streets, where he
Is employed as q carver, was "You need
not sharpen your pencil. My case is In the
hands Of my attorney, Gen. Hale sypherr,
OF Washington; you had better talk with
him. Mr.. Ihobe is a man who works like
all others Of bis craft, from o'clock In the
morning until in the evening" and spends
but little Of his time and none Of his money
in the prosecution of his claim to Mr.. Car
isles seat. lie is especially averse to talk
ing to newspaper mem but after o good
many gentle hints he finally said:
"You:know as well as anybody that on q
fair count Of the legal votes | was elected.n
nifty to affirm or deny his assertion, he con-
tinued: "But MIR. Carlisle has all the ad-
vantaees; be has the machine, plenty OF To-
nuential friends, and the prestige OF q
national reputation, and you know nothing
can be done in politics without money"
"But who,n interrupted,hc reporter, "ls

"He is my attorney"
"He is high priced one, is he notP
"Yes.h
"Have you the money to pay him for at
tending to your casep
"IIe can hold me responsible and sell my
house, can't heg'
"But is II not understood that tn union
back Of ycu have authorized you to employ
himYn
"You had better ask him."
"Will Gen Butler be associated with him
In the caseN
ale can have any associate counsel he
pleases; he has charge OF the matter"
"But, to get back TO the first point, what
do you think Of Mr.. Carlisle's statement as
| published ?"
~ never saw it before you showed it to
men
"What do you think OF 1t ?"
~ don't want to talk about IT,; watt
| this with good natured wave OF his hand.
After considerable persuasion Mr.. Thobe
finally said: "If could tell you what
know about a meeting OF three or four gen
tltmen in one room in Covington after the
election ard about Newport lawyer CON
ing over to Covington, and his conference
with these gentlemen, 1t would astouist

Buried at Congregational Cemetery.

The funeral of Mrs. Catharine Van Rensselaer,
of'ey took place yesterday from the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. Helen Paulding, 174l F
street northwest. Mrs, 0ffley was one Of the
Oldest residents of Washington, and lived for
number of years ia Georgetown. Her three
sons, John, Holmes L, and Remsen, were
present at the funeral, the oldest, Major Onley,
Of the army, being unable to attend. Mrs
OEey was for many years q prominent mem-
Der of st. Johns Church, West Washington,
and was always most earnest worker In
behalf OF the poor. Her life was
one continual succession Of good
acts, and in later years when old age
ana feebleness deprivedher of taking al active
part in the many charities with which she was
associated, her mind was ever on her work;
and truly when her eyes were closed In death
on Saturday night last the Supreme Ruler
must have said, "Well done, good and faithful
servant" The services were conducted by
Rev. Or. Lindsay, rector of st Johns Church,
assisted by Rev. DR.. Shras The pallbearers
were Hon. J. W. Douglass, s W Rittenhouse,
j. q. Waters, PaymaSter Dosle, U. S. N, Il. @.
Ray, and John Marbury. The interment was

YANKToN SIOUX UGLY.
Threaten to Make Trouble on Their
Reseryatiou,

Reservation.
Information has been received at the In
dian office from Indian Agent Kinney and
Special Agent West, at the Yankton (Dak.)
Indian agency, that about thirty bucks of
the Yankton Sioux threaten violence to the
surveyors and to the special agents under
whose supervision allotments OF land are
being made at that agency, as well as to
those OF their tribe who are receiving their
allotments The surveyors have several
times been driven from their work. Acting
upon this information, the commissioner OF
Indian affairs, through the Acting Secretary
of the Interior, has requested the War De-
partment to instruct the commanding Of
icer at Fort Randall, Dakota, by tele-
graph, to send sufficient force to the
reservation to protect oil persons from
violence and to enforce the orders OF the
agents when called upon by him. The War
Department promptly complied with this
request An inspector on the ground re-
ports that two-thirds OF these Indians de.
sire alotments and that the thirty obstruc-
tionists belong to the non-progressive ele.
ment. In his letter Of request to the Secre.
tary Of War, Acting Secretary Muldrow
says: "1t is the desire of the department
that the taking of allotmeuts of lands under
the seyeralty act Of Feb. 8, 1897, shall be
